Hi, I'm Matt Cockfield. I'm a business improvement advisor and mentor in North Carolina.
I’m Matt Cockfield, founder of Cockfield Advisory and creator of the Cockfield Advisory Method (CAM) — a framework that helps business owners bring structure to growth.
After decades leading procurement, contracts, and compliance in some of the most regulated and operationally demanding industries, I learned how large organizations build systems that scale — and why smaller ones often struggle to. Most entrepreneurs don’t fail for lack of effort;
they fail for lack of business architecture.
At Cockfield Advisory, I help founders move from reacting to working with structure — so the business runs on systems, not ad-hoc behavior. I take enterprise-grade discipline and turn it into practical tools for small and mid-size companies, helping them tighten operations, cut friction, and scale with confidence — without losing the soul that made them successful in the first place.
Our Services
Advisory Engagment
Operational Architecture
Most clients begin with a monthly retainer providing up to ten consulting hours of dedicated access and priority support. This model ensures continuity, responsiveness, and steady implementation momentum.
Project-based engagements are also available when a defined outcome — such as process redesign, organizational alignment, or system launch — fits your needs better.
Strategic, high-touch consulting designed for owners and executives who need to stabilize operations and position for growth. Engagements are guided by the Cockfield Advisory Method (CAM) — five structured phases that move from diagnosis to sustainable execution.
Typical outcomes: streamlined processes, redefined roles, and a leadership team aligned around measurable goals.
We translate business goals into working systems. That means clarifying decision pathways, codifying best practices, and eliminating friction points that erode profitability. The result is a leaner, more predictable organization — one that scales without losing control.
Typical outcomes: reduced waste, faster project cycles, stronger accountability.
Leadership & Owner Mentorship
For founders and builders ready to run a tighter, more professional operation, we provide ongoing advisory support centered on better decisions, stronger teams, and practical growth planning.
This is where focus turns into confidence — and where owners finally step into real leadership.
Typical outcomes: better decisions, stronger managers, and an owner no longer stuck in daily firefighting.
"I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's.
I will not reason and compare; my business is to create."
